Fernando Alonso is hoping to be catapulted off the starting grid thanks to the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) on Sunday. The Spaniard will start the Italian Grand Prix from eighth on the grid for Renault with three non-KERS cars ahead of him.
A demon getaway from Alonso would not be his first at Monza, as the Champion of 2005 and 2006 also enjoyed a move from fourth to second by the first corner on a damp track in the 2004 race.
"We had a few doubts about reaching Q3 this morning so we are happy to have made it through," Fernando said after the session.
"In the end we missed being in fourth or fifth position by a very small amount. I hope to have a good start to the race tomorrow and gain some places using the KERS." Those most threatened by Alonso's system are Vitantonio Liuzzi and the championship-leading Brawns of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello.
